Chapter 79: Painful Injury (3)
"You!! It's always like this. You force her to do something she doesn't want to do. Isn't once enough? How long are you going to torture her?"
"What do you know? What qualifications do you have to say this to me? Aren't you the same? You abandoned her once, so what qualifications do you have to say this to me?"
"you……"
“That’s enough!!”
Just as Zhou Cheng and Zhou Yan were arguing, Yin Yin's almost shouting voice startled them.
How could Yinyin know nothing? Even if she knew, the pain of the past could not be changed. But what difference would it make if she knew it now and brought it up again? No, she had indeed forgotten the past, but that did not mean she knew nothing. Some of it was indeed learned from others by accident, but she could verify the truth with her own feelings. Whether it was true or false, it was no longer important to her, because the past could not be changed. So she did not want to continue to cling to the past. She just wanted to get back the most precious memory that belonged to her, no matter how hard and painful the process was. She felt that it was meaningless to witness Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng bringing up the past and arguing about her.
"I have always found it strange. Why are you always so obsessed with my affairs? My life should be decided by myself. Why do you want to interfere in my life choices? Even if you are the emperor, you are not qualified to do this, right? It was the same when I was in the palace, and it is still the same now. Do you know that you really bother me? Please, let me go. Why do I have to accept everything you arrange? I just want the life I want. Whether I choose to be with Yan or someone else is none of your business. You are just an outsider. No matter how persistent you are, the person I choose will not be you."
Was it crying? Was it complaining? Or was it begging? Yin Yin's voice and her words seemed to be transformed into sharp needles that pierced Zhou Cheng's heart. In an instant, Zhou Cheng felt that the world he was in was dark. Yin Yin's strong and clear words left him no chance to refute. He didn't even have an inner struggle. He was like a body without a soul!
Seeing this, Zhou Yan and Shan Zhen expressed their sympathy. Being rejected by Yin Yin like this would be a big blow to even the most generous person. It should be said that any man would not remain unmoved, let alone Zhou Cheng? Now Yin Yin said this to Zhou Cheng, but there was no guarantee that these words would not be said to him one day, just as an expected experience. How cruel were those words Yin Yin said, let alone Zhou Cheng himself who had to accept these words?
Zhou Yan, who had been looking forward to what Yin Yin would say to Zhou Cheng and how she would break up, remained silent at this moment, without any sense of joy, and even expressed some sympathy for Zhou Cheng's experience?
Shan Zhen had never expressed it before because he knew he didn't have the chance. He should feel better when he saw the man who was obsessed with Yin Yin being rejected. But at this moment, he didn't have that feeling at all. Like Zhou Yan, he expressed his sympathy for Zhou Cheng's experience. Although those were not words directed at him, he was deeply shocked and shaken when he heard them.
Faced with the need to make a choice and having to choose between Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng, Yin Yin said these words from her heart and also what she least wanted to say. No matter what, she now had only one choice, which was to go with Zhou Yan. It was not her wish to hurt Zhou Cheng in this way, but it could save more people. Yin Yin was willing to bear all the sins of exchanging peace for hurting others.
By the time Zhou Cheng sobered up from Yin Yin's words, no, it should be that he was not sober at all, Yin Yin and Zhou Yan left together, and the war that was almost ignited was extinguished silently. Zhou Cheng didn't know how he got to the camp, but he kept drinking after he came back. The strong aura like a ghost on him made no one approach him, not even Shan Zhen. Even if Shan Zhen could approach him, he couldn't find anything to say to Zhou Cheng, let alone comfort him, so he could only watch secretly . He felt a little guilty and self-blame for the situation turning out like this, wondering if he was also responsible for it. Looking at Zhou Cheng who was deeply hurt by Yin Yin, he regretted not saying anything all the time. If he had said something, if he had tried to dissuade him, maybe the result would not be like this.
The deeper the love, the more painful the hurt. The pain and torture Zhou Cheng endured at this moment was like the love he gave to Yin Yin. It was devouring his heart several times over. He had no intention of thinking about other things. He only knew that the heartache made him unable to calm down.
A few days passed, and Zhou Cheng's pain was still not over. He was constantly immersed in torture, as if he had fallen into the lowest ebb of his life. Shan Zhen, who knew that Zhou Cheng had gone mad and was suffering, could only watch from the sidelines. He was really powerless. At this time, a piece of information reached Shan Zhen's ears, forcing him to come to Zhou Cheng, who had fallen into the lowest ebb of his life...
